Jordan Tice - Motivational Speakeasy

, 'Motivational Speakeasy' contains evidence of a variety of influences. From the classic Mississippi John Hurt style melodic blues of Matter of Time and Goin on Down, to the dissonant Tom Waits-like shuffle of Creation's Done to the philosophical early Dylanesque chatter of Walkin' and Where I'm At, Tice spins his influences into a variety of highly personal, well-crafted songs.In addition, the album contains 3 instrumental tracks where Tice showcases his narrative guitar-playing and composing with performances that range from British Isles inspired wistfulness (Stratford Waltz) to quirky ragtime (Bachelorette Party, Ghost Story). Folk fans might recognize Jordan Tice as a member of the bluegrass supergroup, Hawktail, as well as his work with guitarist Dave Rawlings and comedian, Steve Martin.
